weather is very much needed, if any
thing like a crop is to be made.

We publish below a letter written to
Mr. Geo. F. Blackburn, clerk of the
court, by a love-sick colored Othello,
of the second ward, concerning a cer
tain colored Desdemona, whose charms
have evidently so infatuated him, that
he has gone hog wild in love with her.
Unfortunately, however, Desdemons
is married to another nigger fellow,
and there all the trouble hangs. It
seems that they want to marry each
other, and Mr. Blackburn's advice is
sought in the dilemma. The matri
monial chain that binds one nigger to
another is not always very strong, and
they have very loose notions of conju
gal fidelity. In the present instance
we fear that Othello and Desdemona
will have to forego their love until the
other fellow, the husband. pegs out, or
gits 'ligion, takes on wings and soars
to heaven without dying.
"Fond maid! the sorrow of her soul was
such,
E'en reason sunk blighted beneath its
touch."

The steamer Julia passed up yester
day on her first trip out from New
Orleans. The Julia bhas entered the
New Orleans and Bends trade and will
remain until the let of September,
when she will be replaced by the swift
steamer Dewey, who will make regu
lar weekly trips between New Orleans
and the bends. The Julia will go back
into the Memphis trade this fall,
where Capt. Cummins has built up a
large business. The two Captain
Cummins, father and son, are so well
known throughout this section, that it
is useless to say any more about them
than has been said, and we know that
they will make as many friends along
the river between here and New Or
leans as they have made in the Mem- a

describing his experiences as "A Mls

On Thursday night of last weel
Miss Eva Davis gave a very delightful
party at the botne of Miss Beuella
Brown in honor of her guest, Miss
Gussie Fauut Le Roy, of Opelousas.
Misses Davis and Brown proved them
selves adepts in the art of entertain
iug, for all present expressed them
selves as being highly pleased. Miss
Faunt Le Roy gave a splendid recita
tion, which was warmly applauded.
One of the chief features of the even
ing was the trial of Mr. Alex Hill, who
was charged with "sending his love,
by Miss Lou Ellen Brown, to every
member of the Young Ladies' Club."
According to the laws of this club,
Mr. Hill committed a grave crime, and
he was very unceremoniously arrested
by Deputy Sheriff Boberg and
brought before Judge E D. Guenard
for trial. The prosecuting attorney
was Mr. E. Wayles Browne, while Mr.
.Hill was defended by Major Kennedy.
The jury consisted of Misses Mabry
B.ases, Stella Saint, Edna Pilcher, Katie
Kennedy, Carrie White, Gussie. Fauut
Le Roy and Emma Bell, Major Ken
nedy made a strong fight for the ac
cused, but the evidence against him
was very incriminating, and Judge
Guenard instructed the jury to find
Mr. Hlill guilty. As the crime was a
serious one, the Judge sentenced Mr.
Hill to be kissed by seven old maids,
for seven days, seven times a day,
which punishment we consider worse
tbhau the seven years' itch. We have
not heard yet whether Mr. Hill has
undergone his puniehment; at any rate
he will be careful hereafter to seud his
love to the members of the Young
Ladies' Club, separately, and not to the
entire flock.
The hot tomolly man, a balf-breed
Mexican, who came to Providence a
month or so ago, selling "hot tomol
lys," and who was drunk all the time
and very quarrelsome, was fined by
Mayor Franklin and put in jail.
While in jail word came to sheriff
Dunn from Arkansas to arrest him, as
it was thought he was an escaped mur- a
derer tfeom Texas. The authorities a
came for him and took him to Lake
Village, and after remaining iu jail for
a few weeks he was turned out. 'No
sooner than be was let out he made his cI
way back to Providence, arriving last
Friday on the Delta. Such a looking
individual as this man was not wanted
any longer in our town, and a few of
the citizens got together to make him
"pull his freight," but he must have "
gotteu wind of what was going to be g
done and he left without waiting for y
the consequences. He couldn't be
found, and we suppose it is a good
thing for his hide that he skipped. He
was a tough looking customer, and he
looked like he would do almost ti
any crime. The town ls well rid of
him.
